About

Since the early 1990s, German artist Christian Jankowski has tested the boundaries of high art and mass culture. Often co-opting the space of commercial television and cinema, he continuously subverts and pokes fun at the role of mass culture in the everyday, paralleling the structure of the art world with that of, among other things, organised religion and the cult of the celebrity. This first part of a three-part retrospective programme offers a glimpse at Jankowski's films, presenting a selection of work charting a period of over years twenty years, from 1992 to the present. Each programme is structured around a theme, defining a distinct strand of his practice.
Curated by Steven Cairns, ICA Associate Curator of Artists' Film and Moving Image.
